Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0035282A2] An industrial robot, and particularly a control system therefor, is described wherein the data upon which the control system operates to position the robot relative to a workpiece can be altered during the operation of the robot to compensate for position error and the like. The described robot is of the type having a support unit and a base unit mounted on the support unit and rotatable about a vertical axis. A lower arm member is mounted on the rotatable base unit and pivotable about a horizontal axis. An upper arm member is mounted on the upper end of the lower arm member for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis. A tool supporting unit is universally connected to the upper arm member through a wrist structure. The operations of the robot are controlled by input data which is generated through a manual teaching operation. The data supplied by the teaching operation is edited, as operations proceed, through the use of an electronic edit box coupled to the computer control system.
